Huff at cornerback?

Michael Huff took some snaps at cornerback at Sunday’s practice, but don’t think for a second he is going back to his old spot from safety. Coach Tom Cable said he just likes to gets his safties work on man-to-man coverage.

Wide receiver Chaz Schilens missed practice for the third straight day. He had a follow-up procedure to the surgery he had on his broken left foot last August. The Raiders are being cautious — “we’re going to need that guy,” Cable said.

Outside linebacker Trevor Scott (trapezius), receiver Louis Murphy (ankle) and cornerback Chris Johnson (back) were also out but none of those injuries are serious.

JaMarcus Russsell was not sharp today and we will have a full recap of the three-day minicamp up soon. We have to bang out a story on Robert Gallery for Monday’s paper first.
